Answer:

Jiri is 22 (and Pamela is 27)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = Jiri's age

Then x + 5 = Pamela's age.

If we add the ages together, they said it's 49.

Jiri + Pam = 49

x + x + 5 = 49

combine like terms.

2x + 5 = 49

subtract 5.

2x = 44

divide by 2.

x = 22

So Jiri is 22 and Pamela is 27.

Check:

Pam is 5 yrs older. Check!

22 + 27 = 49 check!

Hello!

The number line progresses from negative infinity (extreme left) to positive infinity (extreme right). Beginning at zero, the numbers increase in value as they move to the right and decrease in value as they move to the left.

With this knowledge, we can look at the number 17.2 (a positive number) and conclude that it is placed 17.2 units to the right of zero on the number line.

The opposite of 17.2 would be (-17.2). Again, looking at this number (a negative number), we can conclude that it is placed 17.2 units to the left of zero on the number line.

I hope this helps!

Answer:

88 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The given bicycle has a tyre that is 28 inches in diameter.

How far the bicycle moves forward each time the wheel goes around is the circumference of the bicycle tyre.

This is calculated using the formula:

C =\pi \: d

We substitute the diameter and

\pi = \frac{22}{7}

C = \frac{22}{7} \times 28

This simplifies to

C =22 \times 4

88 \: inches

If the Revenue for the week is $2000, and labor cost consists of two workers earning $8 per hour who work 40 hours each, what is

slega [8]

So,

All you have to do is find the total labor cost and put it over the revenue.

We have two workers each earning $8/hr. (lousy), and they work 40 hrs./week.

2 * $8 = $16/hr.

$16/hr. * 40 hrs. = $640

$\frac{640}{2000}$

Cross out zeros.
$\frac{64}{200}$

Simplify.
$\frac{2^6}{2^35^2}$
$\frac{2^3}{5^2}$
$\frac{8}{25}$

Convert the denominator to 100.
$\frac{8}{25} * \frac{4}{4} = \frac{32}{100}$
$\frac{32}{100}$
=
32%

The labor cost is 32% of the revenue.
